Chapter 22

As I end the call with a nurse or something, I walk towards the living room, in the hallway I see Justin crouched down by himself.

"Justin?" I ask concerned. he doesnt't look up, but he nods. "are you okay? where is Lucas?" I ask.

"he loves me" he says, I frown confused. I stand in front of him and sit down on my knees so I am shorter than him.

"Lucas?" I ask. he nods and I really want to coo, but that would be sort of weird. "of course he does, your his Daddy, he has no choice" I giggle. he finally looks me in the eyes, they are glossy.

"Lucas ran off to the living room I think" he answers my question, I nod.

"Ariel is going to surgery" I say. he doesn't say anything probably afraid to say the wrong thing. "and I have a radio interview later"

"me too" he says. well there goes my plan to let Lucas stay with him.

"who should take Lucas?" I ask already feeling the stress creep up on me. Justin finally stands up and takes my hands and bring me with him.

"I'll take him, I'll tell them that it's my cousins son or something" he says.

"thank you" I say and hug him. "shall we visit Ariel beforehand?" I ask in the hug. I can feel him nod as he is resting his chin on my head. "when is yours?" I ask as we walk towards the living room where I hope Lucas is.

"5.30 PM" he says, I nod.

"mine too" I say, Lucas is sitting on the couch and he's holding both his and Ariel's rattle. yes, I gave them to them with the first they were born. "Hey, little fella" I say sitting down next to him, he looks up with teary eyes.

"when is Ariel coming home?" he asks as a tear fall down his cheek. I don't know what to answer so I look at Justin for help.

"She'll be home when she's better" Justin says sitting down on the other side of him.

"when will that be? never?" Lucas asks again getting hysterical. I pick him up and place him in my lap, Justin scoots closer to me in the process.

"hey, baby, she'll be okay, we just don't know when, but she is coming home" I tell him somewhat strictly, but still softly just so he knows I'm serious. "we are going to the hospital now, Mommy just need clothes and so does daddy and we'll be ready to go" he nods, still crying into my chest. I feel a tear fall down my cheek too.

"can we bring the sun?" he asks referring to the rattle.

"yes" I say trying not to let my voice fail on me.

after comforting Lucas for another five minutes, me and Justin got dressed, I had some of his old t-shirts, which was kind of embarrassing, but oh well. I got dressed in a chevron printed pair of tights, a white t-shirt with the name of all the members in 1D, but Harry's name is in pink, he gave it to me. I put my hair in a messy bun and use a bandana to keep all the loose strands of hair away from my face. I keep my face bare of make up and I put on some black wedge platform boots.

as we arrive the hospital there is a swarm of paps outside so we just keep driving until we have reached about two parking lots away.

"we need to hide" I say as I open the glove compartment and fish out three pair of sunglasses, I hand one pair to Justin, then one to myself and a smaller pair for Lucas. I lean back so I can pick up some sweatshirts from the floor, I hand Lucas his sweatshirt and I give Justin Alfredo's and I take one myself. "you know what to do right, Lucas?" I ask him.

"yes, Mia" he says just to make me sure, you see we've done this before. So every time paps are almost catching up i make Lucas scream my name, Mia, loud so they see I'm someone else. "wait, who is daddy?" he asks when we all have disguises on.

"eh, he's Drew" I say fast. Lucas giggles and mutters a me too. Justin doesn't say anything, he just does as I say. "hold my hand" I say to Lucas when we are all out of the car and ready to walk the short distance to the hospital. we all have sunglasses and hoods on. Lucas takes my hand and Justin my other hand. I smile up to him. when we are by the entrance of the hospital and the paps are close, I nudge Lucas so he can say something stupid to draw the attention to us so we can pass them.

"Mia, Do you think Aunt Andrea is going to die?" he asks loud and clear. he hates Andrea so there is no surprise that he would say something like that.

"I don't know Andrew" I say twisting my voice so it is loud and obnoxious. "Excuse me?" I say even louder, so that the paps are really paying attention. "make room" I say bitchy with the same obnoxious voice. "rude" I say loudly enough for them to hear as we walk through the little room they made for us.

"how can you make your voice so-" Justin starts shocked. "obnoxious" I laugh and shrug.

"And you should never treat anyone like that, no matter how rude, okay?" I tell Lucas who just witnessed his mommy be very rude.

"okay" he says and takes off his hood. I allow him to, but I don't and Justin doesn't.

"Ariel Steele" I tell the receptionist. she is about to object, but I lower my sunglasses so she can see my face. she immediately tells me where she is and we walk there.

"are we allowed to see her?" Justin asks me. I nod, the woman on the phone said we could when the surgery was over, which it is now. we enter her room, Lucas has both the rattles in his hands, he claimed he had to bring his because there was only a certain amount of distance it could be between them, and the house and the hospital was too far.

"how is she?" I hear Justin ask the nurse in the room. I don't hear the nurses answer as I walk over to the bed with the sleeping Ariel in. I lift Lucas so he can sit on the edge of the bed.

"Ariel" he whispers. "I brought sunny" he continues to whisper as he places the rattle in her hand, there is no reaction from her. "take it" he whines a little. "please Ariel" he continues a tear escaping his eye, one tear leading to another. I have to leave the room before I break in front of my little boy and little girl.

i sit down against the wall, sobs escaping. tears falling freely.
